Dear Railways Passenger!
We are not (yet) an online system for Thai Railways. We are manually buying tickets for you at the station. Trains in Thailand are usually sold out (especially VIP class compartments). It may happen that your preferred berth (upper or lower) is not available. In this case we can try to get a different berth for you. You may select your flexibility level below.

You can not travel with the voucher you got from us. You need to come and check in to collect your boarding passes. The process is very similar to the one you know from the airport. You can not board the train without a special boarding pass.

Why book with us?

Simple and seamless booking process.

Usually we confirm your tickets within 24h.

Ticket pickup at/near the departure station in Bangkok with an alternative shipping option to the parcel room at your departure station or by EMS to your home/hotel address.

It is possible to change the passport details after making the purchase.

Our booking fee is there to cover costs for providing tickets to our customers. This involves our staff going to the railways counter, wait in the queue and arrange the best tickets for you, depending on availability and according to your requirements and much much more. The purchasing process of train tickets is different to our bus tickets, which are instantly confirmed - bus operator systems are connected in real-time. Trains are not like that. In case we have charged a higher price at the moment of booking (for child fares, changing VIP to 2nd Class, upper/lower, etc.) we refund in cash when you pick up tickets.

Please note: Thai railways release seats to the public 90 days before the departure for long-hauls and 30 days for short routes (e.g. Bangkok <-> Chumphon). If your departure is in more than 90 (30) days your payment and request will be held in the system and we issue tickets at first possibility ensuring you get the seats you want.

Attention: Please enter your real gender when booking. If you have mentioned you are female and book 1st Class/VIP, we'll put you with another female passenger. If in reality you are not exactly female - you may face well expected difficulties when boarding...

Travel with children: Please note that the policy of Thai Railways permits children less than 12 years old or of height under 150cm to travel on LOWER BERTHS ONLY.

The children who are entitled the child ticket price age between 3-12 and not higher than 140 cm. If the child is a boy, the age should be under 8 years old only (under 140cm) otherwise, he is not allow in the car.

Cancelation policy: Bangkok - Chiang Mai #9

The following refund options are available:

Refund 80% (excl. fees)

If you would like to cancel your booking before the ticket is confirmed.

Amount to be refunded: USD 26.91

Refund 50% (excl. fees)

If you would like to cancel your booking after the ticket is confirmed.

Cheap, Fast, Good - but you can usually pick only two of them!Cheap & Fast won’t be Good. (e.g. buses from/to Khao San Road, local buses or 3rd class trains)Cheap & Good won’t be Fast. (e.g. VIP trains in Thailand)Fast & Good won’t be Cheap. (e.g. private limousine services, or VIP24 buses vs Express buses)

Make your choice! Please remember that while we are closely monitoring the services, we are still an agency marketplace. That means we focus on ticketing services and route availability & coverage rather than on the factual seat reclining angle you will get on the bus today.

Slept in the lower berth on female only train. Was very quiet at night! Food options were slim and slightly expensive. It was freezing when we first boarded, but we came prepared. Otherwise, smooth night! Left with a little bit of vertigo but slept okay!

I have booked with 12go, booking and collection process were quick, staff at the collection office polite it would be good to offer e-tickets though. Train on time, staff very polite and accommodating. We got the sleeper ladies 2nd class carriage n9 with my friends. The lower berth offers lots of space the upper is a bit smaller. We travelled in February so had to change to warmer clothes as the A/C was slightly breezy. Sockets for every passenger. Food ordered from the train is average but edible. Overall very pleasant trip.

There were 3 of us on the ladies only car and we had a great experience. The staff were professional and polite. The food was good for this type of traveling. I would absolutely travel by train again and encourage others to as well. Given the comfort and price it’s a must do for getting around.

Slept in the lower bunk of the ladies train and i never felt unsafe, but it should be noted that men do walk through to get to the dining cart.I am a heavy 6ft tall woman and the bottom bunk was JUST long enough. It's cool and bright but clothes and an eye mask will fix that. One of my best nights rest so far.

Nice experience. We brought our own food for the evening and we ordered a good breakfast, even with fresh pineapple. I didn't sleep so well because the train stops a lot and the matrass is rather hard. Too bad the lights stay on the whole night. The staff was very helpfull and kept the train very clean!

From picking up my ticket to the journey to Chiang Mai this was an overall very pleasant experience. Ticket pick up was very easy and was given a water bottle as well. I had plenty of room in my seat and lower berth had wonderful view of countryside in the morning. Only reason not 5 star is the train ride itself isn’t the smoothest so woke up many times during the night.
